iPhone Carplay in older models

I just updated my iPhone 6 to iOS 9 and noticed there's a function called Carplay. I looked up what cars are supportive of this new app and saw that MY 15 and later will have this already installed in the COMAND system. My question is does anyone know if there is a plan to update the COMAND system in older models to use this app?

I have also seen this function on my iPhone and would be interested in seeing what it does.

According to most of the new releases the only car from MD to offer carplay as of today is the 2015, 2016 C or S-Class.

seems to me that carplay is head unit based. It needs the interface and displays built into the physical unit. We're out of luck unless head units can be swapped.

Isn't the Drive Kit Plus for iPhone a direct alternative for Car Play? Here is the web site - drive-kit-plus.com There is an availability link that lists what models it will work on - thee W212 is on the list.
